“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The session was witnessed by Patty Middleton, who drove down to Elmira from Ottawa, Canada, yesterday to attend Jane’s ESP class. We met Patty in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in September, 1970, while we were on tour for Jane’s own book, The Seth Material.

(Over two more pages of material for Patty followed. After that, with my right hand practically numb, I put my notebook aside and joined Patty and Seth in an impromptu discussion. Seth’s energy and vitality seemed to be inexhaustible — his pace even speeded up. The session ended at 11:37 P.M. All of us were weary.)

(Today Patty filled Jane in on her studies in operant conditioning; how, with a simple Yogalike technique, monitored by an electroencephalograph, she learned to “turn on” her alpha brainwaves. This resulted in her achieving a certain state of relaxed awareness, where perceptions and feelings were held in ideal balance.

(Patty enthusiastically told us that Seth’s material on the various stages of consciousness, in the 569th and 570th sessions in Chapter Seventeen, closely agreed with her recent studies. In addition, her comments and information fit in so well with this present chapter that I began to wonder if something more than coincidence had led her to visit us now. We hadn’t been corresponding with her.

(Jane’s interest in these possibilities began to grow after I described the 570th session in Chapter Seventeen to her — it will be remembered that Seth suggested I do this — and my progress was accelerated through Patty Middleton’s visit a week later, with her information about alpha states.)

[...] At first I wondered whether his A-1 state would merely repeat the alpha data given to us by Patty Middleton, but it soon developed that he was using alpha only as a takeoff point. [...]

(Jane told me that had the session continued, Seth was going to say that Patty Middleton’s visit last week had been incipient from the time we met her in Philadelphia, in September, 1970. [...]

(This isn’t to say that Patty’s journey here was preordained. [...]

[...] Patty, RN, took cultures of both leaking ulcers on her hips for tests. [...]

[...] She’d also told Patty. [...]

[...] Rita and Patty were having trouble getting her comfortable on her back when I got to 330 today. [...]

[...] She discussed the book to some extent with Patty Middleton recently; and I’ve talked about it at times, although without referring back to the typed page.

[...] I got there a few minutes early; she’d just been turned by Patty and was hurting a lot. [...]

[...] Patty played two flute solos for us in 330. [...]

[...] Patty called me at noon and said Jane wanted me to come to 330 early if I could. [...]

[...] Jane also said she’d never heard anything about the cultures Patty had taken from the ulcer on her knee a couple of weeks ago, so she guessed that meant things were okay there. [...]

(Georgia also told us, with Patty, that they’d just heard that the administration of the hospital had decided to close down the section room 330 is in, because “they’d just realized that Surgical 3 is short of staff.” [...]
